This is just the standard taskbar icon. If I wasn't using the tray
icon, I'd use this, which DOES toggle twixt minimized and restored
view.  I just thought the tray icon made sense for something as
frequently used as email, especially with the animated new message
indicator.

Wow, I actually didn't. It's interesting that while both Restore and
Minimise[sic] actions are at the top of the context menu, "Restore" is
set as a default (mouse click) action, whereas "Minimise" is not.

If they could simply map Minimize as the default click action when the
window is open (it can obviously detect this since Minimise appears
there rather than Restore), that'd do the trick. Hey, make it a selectable
option in Preferences (like Trillian) and then everyone will be happy.

Not a big deal as far as features go, just something that would make
that tray icon really nice to use.
